Thanks a lot, everyone!
John, the plants are under high output T5's. The lighting system is made for reef tanks. Thankfully it's dimmable so I can adjust the lighting, because full-blast is very strong.

just a tip , if you want to do , up to you, with cuttings in high humidity situ or heavy misting or just for more protection, some times good idea to put a cover past on the top cut , and all ways cut at 45 degree angle, reason for, is to stop infection from water staying on top of cut , I use either tree wound past non tar base or make a fungicide powder into a past and cover the cut ,this helps a lot and keeps the top section of the cutting from aggressive die back and infection like black rot or fast stem die back ,if you need more info just ask
John

That's really impressive !
How do you manage to fit all this in one tank ?

That is good information John, thanks. I'll PM about the lights.
Thanks shoggoths, I hang certain plants, and many are still small. The plants will outgrow this setup eventually. I'll likely try to acclimate certain plants to household conditions.

After looking at your pilosa again, i think you have a bald clone. Or the white hairs are not apparents on your picture. Can you zoom a bit? Here some different pilosa clones from my collection. All very differents, but the fuzz is 1/4inch long on each.     |

Beautiful plants, Francois.
I emailed Dr. Wistuba and he assured me that all clones sold after 2012 are divisions from selected and "good" clones. He says they may take time and strong lighting to display their characteristics. We shall see!
If mine remain bald, well, you'll just have to sell me a division of one of yours! Haha.

So many absolutely fantastic plants here Avery! Your growing skills and species selection are amazing. The N. aristolochioides (original AW clone), N. hamata (clone 1), and the SG N. jamban are my favorites from the most recent posts. Your SG N. jamban might be the nicest jamban I've ever seen. I absolutely love how the bulbous body of the pitchers narrows at the top, cinched in by the peristome. My jamban does not have this elegant feature, absolutely beautiful! Btw...by the look of those teeth, that villosa is definitely a villosa...not a hybrid. Those teeth are too distinct to be a hybrid. Personally I think the juries still out... quite a few pictures on the web of N. x kinabaluensis are of ( rajah x villosa), I've seen pictures of N. x kinabaluensis ( villosa x rajah) that can feature quite toothy peristomes. I could be wrong, this seedling could be "pure" N. villosa, but I have a seedling from the same source and possibly the same pod, that even though it's small I think it has some features intermediate between the two species. Personally I'd be happy with either the species or the rare natural hybrid. Regardless with Avery's growing skill we should be able to tell definitively very soon Great Thread!! |

It's only a matter of time until we know for sure... I haven't really seen many pictures (that I know of) of pure villosa Tambuyukon seedlings, so that's why I'm skeptical. Here's its newest inflated pitcher:  |

Very nice! I'm becoming more and more convinced that it's true villosa You should send JH this picture and see what he has to say. |

Guy, Jeremiah said that most seedlings from him have turned out to be pure villosa. Some are villosa x rajah, though. He guesses that mine is pure, which I'm happy about.

Beautiful! I love it! I'm currently setting up a 4 foot terrarium and it's my first terrarium so any tips on equipment would be great!
